Fumeclear® Laser Fume Extractor with Exhaust for F1, S1, M1, F2, D1 Pro 10W to 40W Laser Engraver FC-2002A

Pretty quiet, similar to a loud white noise machine or kitchen hood on full. Using for a 60W laser cutter and seems to keep up. So pretty happy with it

The suction is incredible! It's far better than the combined suction from the built-in exhaust fan on my laser cutter or the duct fan I've been using. And the filtration works! I actually put my face against the FumeClear exhaust and took some tentative breaths while it vacuumed the wood burning soot from a 40-watt laser cutter �� the air was decent. Now, I still vent outside, but I think you probably could use this completely indoors if needed. I don't recommend indoor venting because there are plenty of harmful VOCs that you can't smell, but this fume extractor removed everything I could smell and had no visible exhaust.The cotton pre-filters are a must because they trap a ton of particulate dust, and I found that I can clean them for reuse with my home vacuum cleaner. But make sure to use a *good* vacuum �� when I used my stick vacuum on the cotton filter, suddenly my office was filled with the burnt wood smell that the FumeClear had prevented. So clearly this filter works and works well, especially for the $500 price tag I paid.

I have had the FumeClear FC-2002A fume extractor for about 5 days now. I wish there were more stars for me to use. It is by far and away the best extractor for my laser. I had two others... they were expensive JUNK that I returned... but this one meets and exceeds all my needs and expectations. My shop use to fill with wood burning smoke now you cannot even tell my laser is cutting. The size is very compact and it does not weigh a ton. It is a little noisy but no more so that the fan on the laser. I have been telling everyone about the quality of the machine and how its made a difference in my shop. I had a little scare.. I have been using it for about 15 hours and it stopped. However with just a quick read of the instructions... I found it to be a blown fuse... which they included and extra.... now... who does that. I was back up and running in minutes. The extractor has great suction and throws out nice clean air. As you can tell I highly recommend this unit for anyone with a laser.

FANTASTIC! I use this for a laser engraver that's open. This has plenty of power to suck the smoke and fumes right out of the air. Much better than the one that came with the laser.

This works great for my 3d Printer printing ASA.It is in no super quiet like a home air purifier but home air purifiers don't work for this application. I measured 68dB with the fan on high, sitting about 5 feet away.Even if you aren't venting outside, you will want to add the exhaust tube because it significantly muffles the fan sound. I usually run it on level 3 because it's a more pleasant sound when the fan is running at lower RPM and it gives the fumes more dwell time in the carbon filter. You don't want super high flow for VOCs on any filter. More dwell times gives the carbon time to absorb the fumes. on level 3 I measured 65dB. That may not seem like much difference but a 3dB change in volume represents a 50% reduction in power even if the human ear perceives 10db as half as loud.Since I don't have an enclosure I try to avoid being in the room while I'm printing ASA. Some fumes will inevitably escape the filter. I generally leave it running overnight while I'm printing in my office, and the room is completely free of smells and detectable VOCs in the morning when I turn off the fan and inspect my work.

In 2023 I started burning original art work into wool hats. I am one of the first to move this form of art into the fashion community. Burning into wool will bring you back to branding days on a ranch. Currently we travel across the United States doing live burning. I needed to find a fume extractor that was quite and efficient. It needed to take care of the smoke fumes to protect everyone and also to protect other vendors merchandise. It now goes everywhere with us and allows us to burn and keep the area healthy for everyone. I love it.

I am using this vac on two X Tool laser machines, the S1 and a F1. The fume collector works great on both devices and is able to keep up with heavy smoke from cutting wood and leather. The filters are easy to change and blow out. The machine did a good job of warning me that the filters were clogged before I was able to realize it. Overall, this has performed great so far at a fraction of the price, would purchase again.

I bought the fume clear to use with my 5 w UV laser and have been nothing but satisfied. It clears a pretty good area in front of the hose. You don't have to be right above it. It will pull the smoke and fumes towards it from good distance.

Ideal for my laser engraver.
Great suction from such a small unit, and the ability to change the pre filters without replacing the entire filtration system is a great benefit.
